If this condition makes you self-conscious about your appearance, treatment with Kybella injection therapy by the board-certified dermatologists at Advanced Dermatology & Skin Cancer Associates in Memphis may be the answer.

What is Kybella?
A double chin sometimes won’t disappear, even if you lose weight. Age and genetics can also be a factor.
Kybella is a non-surgical approach to the treatment of submenal fullness, otherwise known as double chin. It the currently the only FDA-approved injectable available to treat this condition. The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Kybella is a cosmetic procedure that is not covered by insurance.
To determine if Kybella is right for you, the specialists at Advanced Dermatology will give you a preliminary exam. Your treatment will then be tailored to you, based on the amount of fat under your chin and your aesthetic goals.
How Does it Work?
When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. At each treatment, a patient will receive multiple small injections under the chin in a process that takes about 15 to 20 minutes. After each treatment, you will see a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin.
Most patients need more than one treatment session to achieve their desired profile. Your specialist at Advanced Dermatology will help determine how many you need. Once you reach your goal, further treatment should not be needed.
